"Its been awhile"

Its been awhile since I posted last. I still run, just not as much. I still think of witty things to say or post but, just don't have the time.

Being a dad is way harder than what I had ever thought and being on one income is more stressful than I imagined it would be. Also looking for a house that meets our budget gets me excited and then seeminly 48 hours later makes me feel both poor and depressed.

ahhh the middle class life

But enough whining. If your still reading I have been lacking on my weekly runs and gutting it out as you would say for the long runs for the weekend. Not ideal, and not going to win any races, but I'm just in it to finish it.

I have also discovered a beautiful new place to run. Basically I can do a 3 mile loop up and down Milltown Road in Wooster which is a mega incline that crosses route 3. It feels like a mini accomplishment each time I do it and depending on the time of day you run, its a lovely sunset overlooking the north end of town with the bright lights of the gas station and applebees in the background. Breathtaking

Today I attempted to run 7 miles at about 2 PM. It was miserable and I thought I was going to die. I had a survival instinct kick in after mile 6 and I attempted to cut across a rarely mowed field because I just wanted to get back to my truck. Just as I thought if I pass out here no one would see me because the grass is too high, and there was no one out because it was 90 stinkin' degrees, I found a handful of wild strawberries. I ate afew and then felt empowered to make it the rest of the way.

I have yet to get sick so I am convinced that they were wild strawberries and not some random red fruit thats going to kill me within hours.
